Chile, Indigenous Peoples in
Census data from 2002 show that 4.6 percent of the Chilean population belonged to one of the eight existing indigenous groups. Compared to nonindigenous people, indigenous people in Chile are in general poorer, have lower educational attainment, are more likely to be unemployed, and are more likely to be illiterate. Most of them do not speak or understand their indigenous language.
Chile: Port congestion and efficient rationing in cargo transfer operations
No pricing system is likely to be able to do away with congestion in port cargo transfer operations at peak times, since port use is determined not so much by seasonal factors as, first and foremost, by the simultaneous arrival of vessels, which results in rationing. This article shows that rationing, to be efficient, needs to go by the value of the cargo transferred rather than following a first-come-first-served rule. It demonstrates that effic…

Distributional effects of eliminating the differential tax treatment of business and personal income in Chile
This paper estimates the distributional effects that would result from eliminating the differential tax treatment of business and personal income in the Chilean tax system, as well as from the elimination of the main personal income tax exemption, the one for voluntary retirement savings. The results of the analysis show that, while the majority of taxpayers benefitting from this exemption are in the upper income brackets, its elimination would n…
Efectos de los impuestos corporativos en la inversión extranjera en América Latina
Over the past few years, some Latin American countries have decreased their corporate income tax rates to attract foreign direct investment. However, such a policy will have a significant impact only if foreign investment is highly sensitive to tax rates. Otherwise, the main impact of a lower tax rate would be a decrease in tax revenue. Unfortunately there is no evidence in the economic literature for the magnitude of this elasticity in Latin Ame…
Poverty and Inequality Among Ethnic Groups in Chile
Estimando Indigencia y Pobreza Indígena Regional con Datos Censales y Encuestas de Hogares
While indigenous Chileans are believed to experience higher poverty rates than non-indigenous Chileans, evidence is typically based on surveys that are not representative by ethnicity.We adapt poverty mapping methodologies to estimate poverty and poverty gaps for eight indigenous groups more precisely.We find that indigenous people experience higher rates of poverty and also greater depth of poverty.These results hold within regions, suggesting t…
